Tarnished Lady

Name/Title

Tarnished Lady

Description

Alexander Kirkland shares a scene with Tallulah Bankhead across an extravagant backgammon board. The checkers and doubling cube appear to be made of onyx, matching the frame of the board, which must have been very heavy. Judging from the jet-black corners of the board, it appears to be built into the table rather than a portable table-top set. The doubling cube follows the regular 1930 numeral scheme.
